Most tools don’t explain Safe Harbor rules, don’t handle W-2 + 1099 income, and don’t give a full yearly estimate.
So I built a simple free tool:https://taxquarterly.com/
Quarterly Tax Calculator – instant estimates to avoid penalties
Yearly Tax Calculator – a full breakdown of federal, state, and self-employment tax
One tells you what to pay now.
The other tells you what to expect for the whole year.
Both exist to make taxes easy.

I plugged in a scenario when I was unemployed last year, so had little money, and was making over 150K this year while self-employed. Its recommended payment was about 10% of what it really should have been, presumably because it was reporting the lowest amount I could get away with due to safe harbor rules, not the actual estimated amount for the quarter. If I actually paid what this site says, I'd end up with a massive tax bill at EOY.
